THIS WEEK'S PREDICTIONSTHIS WEEK'S PREDICTIONS
SATURDAY (All kick-offs 1500 GMT unless specified)SATURDAY (All kick-offs 1500 GMT unless specified)
Man City v Newcastle (1245 GMT)I'm going for a draw because Manchester City are a little bit all over the place at the moment. Man City 0-0 Newcastle
Their home form has generally been good but I think Newcastle will have been really boosted by their Carling Cup win over Watford. class="bodl" href="/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/6116242.stm">Match report

Prediction: 1-1Prediction: 1-1
Chelsea v WatfordI think the defeat at Tottenham will probably inspire Chelsea and they'll forget about all the recriminations afterwards and just get back to playing football. Chelsea v Watford
They also have the luxury of changing their team without weakening it and even though Watford secured their first win last weekend, I still can't see them getting a result. class="bodl" href="/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/6116238.stm">Match report

Everton v Aston VillaThis is an interesting one because both teams have had hiccups in recent weeks after making very good starts. Everton v Aston Villa
It will be a very tight, physical contest and I don't expect there will be many chances but I'm going for Everton because it's a difficult place to go. class="bodl" href="/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/6116240.stm">Match report

Middlesbrough v West HamIf you think where West Ham manager Alan Pardew was two weeks ago, under all that pressure, it seems like Boro boss Gareth Southgate is heading for the same place. Middlesbrough v West Ham
That just shows you how a couple of wins can turn things around for you. class="bodl" href="/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/6116244.stm">Match report
Boro's two performances on the road at Manchester City and Watford were abject and I think the force is with West Ham.

Portsmouth v FulhamPortsmouth are struggling with injuries a little bit but they have a good record at home. Portsmouth v Fulham
Fulham were fortunate in their win against Everton because they were outplayed and I don't think they'll be so lucky at Fratton Park. class="bodl" href="/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/6116246.stm">Match report

Sheff Utd v BoltonBolton will bounce back with an away win after those home defeats to Manchester United and Wigan. The Wigan result, in particular, will have been a huge shock and Sam Allardyce will have fired them up. Sheff Utd v Bolton
I keep saying the same thing about Sheffield United: I can't see who's going to score the goals or who's going to stop them going in and nothing has changed my mind about that. class="bodl" href="/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/6116250.stm">Match report

Wigan v CharltonWigan's new players have started to gel and they've been rewarded with a run of three wins on the trot. Wigan v Charlton
But Charlton are beginning to show a bit of form too after going five games unbeaten including two Carling Cup wins. Their confidence is higher and they've started to make a few chances so I think they'll get a point. class="bodl" href="/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/6116252.stm">Match report

Blackburn v Man Utd (1715 GMT)It's the wrong time for Mark Hughes' team to be hosting United after their ignominious Carling Cup exit to Southend.Blackburn v Man Utd (1715 GMT)It's the wrong time for Mark Hughes' team to be hosting United after their ignominious Carling Cup exit to Southend.
I always feel sorry for any team that has to play one of the top four teams after they've just lost.I always feel sorry for any team that has to play one of the top four teams after they've just lost.
Not only that but Blackburn are ravaged by injuries at the moment so I can't see United slipping up again.Not only that but Blackburn are ravaged by injuries at the moment so I can't see United slipping up again.

Reading v Tottenham (1330 GMT)Like West Ham, Wigan and Charlton, Tottenham didn't make a good start to the season but they have started to play and the goals are coming from all areas.Reading v Tottenham (1330 GMT)Like West Ham, Wigan and Charlton, Tottenham didn't make a good start to the season but they have started to play and the goals are coming from all areas.
The last few weeks have been really tough for Reading and they don't have a massive squad so they haven't been able to change things round.The last few weeks have been really tough for Reading and they don't have a massive squad so they haven't been able to change things round.

Losing Momo Sissoko for three months is a massive blow for Liverpool.Losing Momo Sissoko for three months is a massive blow for Liverpool.
Arsenal have struggled at the Emirates Stadium and I think Liverpool will go with a plan not unlike Aston Villa, Everton and Middlesbrough, who all came away with results.Arsenal have struggled at the Emirates Stadium and I think Liverpool will go with a plan not unlike Aston Villa, Everton and Middlesbrough, who all came away with results.
But I think Arsenal will see this is as big scalp and I think they're due a good performance and result at home. But I think Arsenal will see this is as a big scalp and I think they're due a good performance and result at home.
